Ancient reindeer migration routes are disrupted by roads, dams – and now wind farms
Projects aimed at tackling climate change with renewable energy in Arctic Europe can have negative impacts on reindeer and reindeer herders.
Reindeer, or caribou as they’re known in North America, are impressive travellers. Herds made up of many thousands of animals can cover 5,000 kilometers each year in the far north of Europe, Siberia and Canada. This is one of the longest land migrations on Earth — but an ongoing transformation of the Arctic landscape threatens to break it up.
